Yesterday's dye pot yields today's wool yarns and rovings...
The dye color was a combination of sun yellow and a drop of bright blue to get a color that was close to lime green. On the piece below, I started with a tan wool, so the outcome was more like chartreuse.
On creamy white wool the lime is true and the color is variegated...
The lime was a little darker on the white yarn...
This multi-colored yarn, over dyed with lime, will make a fine compliment to the lime yarn.
Finally, the pink & brown yarn, as well as a blue, white, and sea green yarn became this new color of variegated lime green...
These colors will be wonderful in wool pincushions!

This is very cool> i had no knowledge of dying wool in such a fashion. Thanks for sharing this with us. Now a lot of people can do this instead to giving it to someone else.
